Car was mostly garage kept...care is not an issue as it is consistently cleaned and waxed (ex-detail manager). When not in garage, I try to find a shady spot.

Showed my dealer my wing and they immediately agreed to order a new one. 15 months old. The car is always outside, always waxed. Autos had the same type of problem in the late 80s when clearcoat came out - didn't put it on thick enough. Dealer told me Mitsubishi has changed their process to put the clearcoat on heavier.

get some steel wool, go out to your car and rub the carbon fiber portion of your wing till you get to the weave. thats pretty much it.
